Is Fluppy 013 the end of the line for development?

Just wondering.

edoc

I have several hundred large jpeg files I'd like to post online but need to reduce them to a manageable size.

Scaling them down one at a time is obviously not practical.

I read that ImageMagick has been compiled for Wary, but what about Fluppy?

Or, other recommendations, please?

NOTE1: I do have GIMP, if there is a way to do this via GIMP ...

NOTE2: Picasa is not an option, even if it would work, as I won't load anything from the privacy-disrespecting google-thugs on my computers.

That worked perfectly! Thanks!!!

The next step in the process - now that I have 709 pictures from our recent VBS, batch-reduced to 800x600 ...

I'd like to stuff them into a simple slide show that is 'clickable'.

I found this code:

http://www.javascriptkit.com/howto/show3.shtml

The problem is that it uses specific names and I don't want to get into manually labeling every image!

Can I use a wild-card "*" for the name in code like this?

Or do I have to use another method to build a slide show that uses whatever images it finds in the folder?

I want to avoid anything proprietary like Silverlight.

Thanks!

Thanks!

I need something in the HTML, e.g. the Java, that any browser out there can handle.

Here's another Java-based example:

But it also requires hard-coding the individual image names.

This sounds possible but I am confused by the "S5" thing ...

This CSS-only solution sounds promising, but I had not been planning to bother with thumbnails at this point:

This one uses PHP, which is available on the server, but I don't know if it is OK for all kinds of browsers ... WDYT?

This says the code "adds slides dynamically" - will that work?

Well, we sure appreciate 013 - it has been solid and well-supported with no need to look elsewhere.

I am happy for you that you are employed, albeit not where development is practical, many of us out here would like to find work in this politician-caused
long-term recession. Rolling Eyes

Jemimah,

Can you think about asking someone else (TUUXXXX / TechnoSaurus / Bigpup, Barry ??) to start supporting Puppeee. It is such a pitty that soo close to the end, the project stalled. Many of the questions on the forum get an answer, but there are some things that need specialist involvement:
- some nasty bugs
- updating the puppeee pet store from 1.0 to current

You worked soo hard to get it to this level. Please make sure it gets finished !

I post this here since fluppy 013 is very similar to puppeee, and since jemimah is out, there may be someone here to help me.

I am running Puppeee 44RC2 since release on a eee pc 1001ha. Originally from SD card. I have noticed that after a while intensive use on WIFI poluted area's (airport area) Frisbee stopped connecting. It was a test phase and I had several configurations stored (hotel, airport, home, work, other hotel, the neighbours wifi, clients office etc... At that time I needed the netbook, and I re-installed Puppeee on the SATA SSD (frugal install) but lost all diagnosics of what went wrong.

After running Puppeee from SSD for almost 2 months, the problem pops up again. This time I had 10 networks in my configuration list. I have been trying for a while to get it working again, but no luck yet. Observations:

- Frisbee scans the area correct. All networks are valid networks for the area (so wireless works). When a new encrypted network is connected, it automatically asks the question for the key. So there is wireless communication.
- Frisbee requests a IP adress, but in stead of "xxx.yyy.zzz.aaa" received the popup "wlan0 down" response comes all the time.
- Enable-ing wlan0 via the rightclick on the wlan tray item results in a double wlan0 down popup.
- Enabling wlan0 via F2 gives no result at all (the blue LED goes on and off, but no popups).
- When I try to edit the WPA configuration file (just tried....) I cannot save the file.
- I tried removing all wpa configurations except the current one, but no luck.
- I set the priority of the current one to 1 (was at 10 due to the long list I assume), no luck.
- My save file is only 1/3 used, so I don't have a storage problem.
- I installed Barry's SNS 2.1 ... just to try if it helps, and it gives at startup no name for the driver used for wireless (see attached). From there I tried to reinstall the driver "load driver" in puppeee network setup, pointing to the RT3090.BIN in /lib/firmware/, but it says "no new devices found". I think it also conflicts with the fact that network scan works.
- puppeee Network setup also shows there is no driver installed (see attached).

Is there anyone who can help me to get wlan0 working again. I am 100% sure that re-installing puppeee wil solve the problem, but I would rather remove some WIFI config files, and keep the rest of my save file. I have customized puppeee and installed a lot of stuff.

Regards,

Volhout

*********** last update **************
I rebooted the netbook from USB with the same puppeee 44RC2 install, used the save file from the SSD (the failing install) and nthat seems to work. Then I rebooted from SSD with the USB stick removed, and now the SSD install also seems to work again. Seems like the USB boot repaired something at either power up, or power down.
I'll do some more testing to find out if I get a clue.
